UPDATE FROM MOM: (10/23/06) I saw your success stories page and thought I would go ahead and share mine. :) I adopted Fagan, a mastiff/lab mix, almost a month ago as of this writing, and I couldn't be happier with him! I don't have any pictures currently, but I wish I had one to send because he is literally the most beautiful dog I have ever known. I'm 21 years old, and my father and I have always both loved dogs. I grew up constantly surrounded by two or three. But this year, just 2 months before my birthday, I lost my father unexpectedly. Shortly after that my beloved chow-mix, Lexus (who'd been with me since I was 11), was diagnosed with bladder cancer. Her condition progressed rapidly and I had to have her put down.. leaving me in the middle of a shattered family life and without any animals for the first time. Six months later I was browsing the web, actually looking for volunteer work and without the slightest intention of adopting a dog. But I happened across the petfinder page that featured Fagan, and even across cyber space he stole my heart. I passed him over once.. but when I ended up on a cooperating shelter page featuring the same dog, I had to stop and investigate further. Coming to visit him at Country Kennels was the final straw.. he was so gorgeous, with hair so soft, and when he came out of the gate he bypassed everyone else and bolted right into my arms. I've always wanted a giant dog, and Fagan is promising to be just that. At 6 months old he already weighed 60 pounds, and yet he is incredibly gentle and adoring. Even his name is perfect since I've always been interested in all things Irish, and have an Irish name myself. The funny thing about it is that I was told he'd been at the shelter since he was a little puppy, and that he'd even been returned once. I can't imagine why this adorable, devoted guy wasn't snatched away.. but I almost feel like he must have been waiting for me. He always chooses to be with me over anyone else in the family, watching me wherever I go, laying outside of any closed door I'm behind, and just generally being a big cuddle-muffin. And according to the vet's official aging, we may even share a birthday! Fagan has instantly become one of the most wonderful things in my life, and I am grateful beyond words to have him with me. Thank you for raising such a bright, beautiful puppy! Brenna

Silly Boy Could a puppy be any cuter? We think Fagan is going to be a big guy. He already has pretty big paws for his age and the cutest wrinkly face. He is such a fun-loving little man. Fagan is part of a big play group at the boarding facility and has many doggy-friends. He is being well socialized and loves everyone. He's really cute and is already attracting quite a bit of attention. Tail Wagging Happy
